Show Notes
RECORDED DURING TITANIC EXPEDITION 2024
For the first time on WITNESS TITANIC, we call to the stand someone who has TRULY witnessed Titanic with their own two eyes. Rory Golden is not only the funniest historian you'll ever meet, he also dove to Titanic in a submersible three times! This week, our witness talks about his expeditions and discoveries while we watch the live ROV feed from the ocean floor.
NOTICE: This episode was recorded on August 4, 2024 directly above the Titanic wreck site - 41.43N 49.56W As of 2025, RMST has released only a handful of images from this expedition. You can view these images here. Just hours after the recording of this episode, Expedition 2024 made a monumental discovery. For the full story, stay tuned for Episode 11.

Welcome to WITNESS TITANIC — the podcast “inquiry” where we call witnesses of Titanic’s great story, from modern experts to even the survivors of the sinking. Through their testimony, we navigate the uncertain waters of the Titanic legend, uncover what actually happened in April of 1912, and ultimately witness Titanic ourselves.
This podcast is made possible by the generous support of the Witness Titanic Patrons, and is produced and hosted by Titanic researcher James Penca.

More from Witness Titanic
It has been said by those who sailed with her that Titanic had a personality. Our next witness, Greg DiNapoli, knows this all too well and has spent countless hours bringing her back to life with only pencil and paper. Join us as we chat about Titanic, Ken Marschall, lighthouses, and the ever-sloppy Titanic AI that keeps us up at night.
Last episode, Alexander Carlisle introduced us to the 1911 Shipping Advisory Committee and his opposition to their lifeboat recommendations. Sir Norman Hill was also on that committee and has requested the opportunity to testify in this episode. According to Hill, we've been lied to.
Why didn't Titanic have enough lifeboats? An age-old question with many contradictory answers. Using 114-year-old testimony, let's ask the man who ACTUALLY designed Titanic... but will you believe him?
To understand Titanic, you have to meet the people for whom she was built — and we mean ALL the people, not just the first-class men. Today on Witness Titanic, we call a witness with almost no Titanic knowledge to offer! Instead she introduces us to the astounding women of the Progressive Era who will one day fight for — and WIN — the right to vote in America... they just have to make it to America first...
Join your Chairman James Penca and an incredible assortment of other Titanic/Ocean Liner content creators for a casual chat during our Titanic Anniversary Weekend 2026. This LIVE event and episode are co-presented by Titanic Legacy Podcast and Titanic: Honor and Glory.
